Taking contraceptive pills may lead to ovarian cancer? Oral contraceptives do not cause cancer
I am a newly married woman who has been struggling with the choice of contraceptive methods since getting married. Because I don't like lovers who use condoms, I want to take oral contraceptives. But is it true that friends say taking contraceptives may lead to ovarian cancer
In daily life, many people are troubled by the choice of contraceptive methods because they do not understand the characteristics of various contraceptive methods or have misunderstandings. Oral contraceptives are a relatively safe, effective, and popular contraceptive method among women of childbearing age. Since the 1960s, oral contraceptives have undergone multiple adjustments and improvements in dosage coordination. Currently, the active ingredient content of this medication is less than a quarter of its original level. While ensuring its contraceptive effect, its side effects and impact on human metabolism have significantly decreased.
Focusing on the relationship between contraceptives and tumors, many studies have been carried out at home and abroad, and the results are not completely consistent, but most studies show that if it is not the high-risk group of estrogen dependent tumors (for example, the family history of breast cancer, patients with estrogen related tumors such as breast cancer and cervical cancer), the incidence of these tumors tends to increase after oral contraceptives. In addition, some scholars have found that oral contraceptives have a certain inhibitory effect on the occurrence of malignant tumors such as endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer, possibly due to the powerful pregnancy hormone contained in contraceptives, which can prevent excessive endometrial hyperplasia and reduce the occurrence of ovarian cancer by inhibiting ovulation.
There are many benefits to using condoms for contraception. It is simple, effective, and safe, with no side effects after systemic or long-term use. If you want to have children, you can get pregnant at any time according to your own wishes. Therefore, for couples who do not want children after marriage, using condoms is a good contraceptive method. But many people in life are unwilling to use condoms, believing that they will affect sexual pleasure. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of condoms, caused by psychological factors. The use of condoms for contraception does not affect hormonal changes in both men and women, and there is no change in sexual desire. Moreover, the new condom has a thin quality with small particles and threads on the surface, which not only does not have a negative impact on sexual pleasure, but also increases it. The use of condoms can make men feel slightly late and to some extent, prolong sexual intercourse time
